Psalm 116 ( I will take the cup of salvation, and call on the name of the LORD )

SONGPSALMS Words inspired by God and Music by Nick Ruth (also inspired by God) I have been involved in Folk Music Ministry for most of my life. The Easter Season has ended and we celebrate the sacrifice and the rewards of that sacrifice. This psalm melody places chord emphasis on the words “take” and “call” and “name”. The onus is on us to accept what is being offered. Eternal life and salvation. Accept the offer and rejoice. The Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ Liturgical Year B Responsorial Psalm Psalm 116:12-13, 15-16, 17-18 R. I will take the cup of salvation, and call on the name of the LORD. How shall I make a return to the LORD for all the good he has done for me? The cup of salvation I will take up, and I will call upon the name of the LORD. R. I will take the cup of salvation, and call on the name of the LORD. Precious in the eyes of the LORD is the death of his faithful ones. I am your servant, the son of your handmaid; you have loosed my bonds. R. I will take the cup of salvation, and call on the name of the LORD. To you will I offer sacrifice of thanksgiving, and I will call upon the name of the LORD. My vows to the LORD I will pay in the presence of all his people. R. I will take the cup of salvation, and call on the name of the LORD. © Nick Ruth, 2021. All rights of the producer and of the owner of the work reproduced reserved.
